The lawsuit, which was filed in California on Tuesday, claims that the plaintiffs are forced to sell their iOS apps through the App Store because Apple has a monopoly over app distribution. It says the company has charged developers a commission of 30% for nearly 11 years on selling apps and products within the apps.
